"Conquest," a stark and haunting story from Harvey Kurtzman’s legendary EC Comics era, presents a soldier’s final moments as he lies wounded by the roadside, haunted by the near-miss of fate that might have spared him. Drawn, inked, and lettered by Kurtzman himself, with cover art by the same hand, this powerful tale captures a quiet, introspective tragedy in the midst of war.
